Title: Name my new Bow W/pics
Post by: Bigriver on December 31, 2006, 05:41:00 PM: My friend John McDonald(Big River Bows) made this bow for me. He had made a 2 piece t/d for a friend of mine. He shipped me the bow to deliver it. Of course I had to shoot it a little. I strung it up, & drew it back & blammo,blew up right in my face. Ow, that hurt. Turns out the phenolic had a weak spot in it & it broke right at the riser,directly above the shelf.He felt bad that I was almost killed, so he decides to saw off the limbs & create a riser for them to make a 3 piece longbow. I dont really like 3 piecers, but I kind of like this one. Shoots real nice, no hand shock & is soo fast I was surprised. Now she needs a name so he can mark it up for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The bow has a solid phenolic riser, bamboo limbs with black glass. Kinda has that special ops thing going on

Here is my first shots(3 arrows) from 25 yards with it, a little right but still ok. The arrows are CE45/60 ,30" with 175gr.tips. The bow is 57#@28"

That warm fuzzy feeling you get now and then is your old CO bud ,bitch slappin you!!!

I'll send you a little device that attaches to your upper limb, looks like a limb saver, but it is a spring loaded forehead puncher that automatically goes off, if you dont wait and see whats comin down the trail. ;)
